Leitrim-Roscommon

hello everyone....

I've been trying to trace my Cassidy ancestors in Roscommon for some years now, but have found new information...
It turns out Patrick Cassidy (whos father was Patrick) When married to Margaret Ford at Warrington,England 1872, lied about hes age so he could marry without his parents present, saying he was 21 when in fact was younger...

On census returns Patrick noted Castlereagh,Roscommon as his birthplace

the following information is as far as I have got in Ireland through a search via Roscommon Geneology company...

Patrick Cassidy, son of Patrick and Mary Cassidy baptised on 12th May 1854 (Ballaghaderreen RC Baptisms vol 1 p 37)

Just wondered if any of the above information relates to any traces in anyones (Cassidy) or others family history??

i am just off now to register on the Cassidy clan site...

After years of wanting to visit Roscommon and never getting there we will definately be visiting Ireland to pursue research further,in the New Year....

Many thanks to anyone who can give info on where to search/ or help/info re: family connections..

Hi Trudi,
I have a Catherine Cassady who was born in 1821 in Leitrim, who's Father was Patrick Cassady.
She married Thomas Malone in Edinburgh, Scotland on the 10th June 1848 and died there on 25th November 1878.
Unfortunately I don't have any other informationon on the Cassady Family except for this.

Many thanks John, I shall keep a note of that and who knows it may end up being connected in some way....if theres one thing Ive learned doing this research, never rule anything out....
If I come across anything relating to cassaday in leitrim during course of my rooting and tooting I will post it on here,
Thanks again,
